Transactional risk insurance

We offer insurance products suited to both buyers and sellers, allowing them to manage the risks inherent in mergers and acquisitions.

• Warranty and indemnity insurance (W&I).

We have created a policy to protect both parties in a transaction against financial losses arising from an unintentional and unknown breach of the seller’s warranties.• Contingent tax indemnity insurance. • Contingent liability insurance.

Chubb’s products can help maximise the value and returns of a deal, bridge the gaps that threaten deal closure, enhance a buyer’s bid in competitive auctions, and cover a seller for innocent misstatements.

Our underwriters have significant expertise in the sector gained from their years of underwriting and legal experience.

Using the extensive Chubb global network, we provide cover for deals all over the world, and where necessary link to our dedicated team in the US.

As part of a wider team, we also provide access to the full range of insurance solutions from Chubb, many of which can help with the insurance requirements that are triggered by a deal.
